Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#252 - Countess
The wolf cavalry outside the city, seeing their taunts were ineffective, had no choice but to leave.
Fiana watched their retreating figures, secretly vowing in her heart: one day, she would make these wolf cavalry pay the price.
The Stamm region, this once prosperous land, was now dilapidated under the iron hooves of the orcs.
Apart from those who were fortunate enough to escape into the city, over a quarter of the region's population had been captured by the orc army.
Fiana took the letter in doubt, and as she glanced at it, a look of ecstasy suddenly bloomed on her face.
"The Crown Prince's reinforcements have arrived!" Fiana held up the letter, her voice full of joy and excitement.
This news was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the oppressive atmosphere that had been hanging over the city walls.
The soldiers cheered, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. Fiana's heart was filled with emotion, both grateful for the Crown Prince's timely rescue and fortunate to be relieved of her predicament.
At this moment, she suddenly understood that the reason the orc army had chosen to retreat must have been because they had detected the arrival of the Crown Prince's army.
This sudden turning point undoubtedly brought new hope to Stamm City.
Immediately afterwards, deafening hoofbeats suddenly rang out, like thunder, and 30,000 cavalrymen roared past one side of Stamm City like a whirlwind, chasing relentlessly after the fleeing orcs.
The leader was none other than the Imperial Crown Prince, Soren.
"Knights, make those orcs who invaded the Empire pay a bloody price, for the glory of the Empire!" Soren's voice, amplified by magic, spread throughout the battlefield, even reaching the ears of the retreating wolf cavalryman, Shantu.
After hearing this voice, Shantu sneered, raised his right hand, and with a sudden grab, the originally orderly retreating wolf cavalry quickly split into two parts and dispersed.
After learning that the orcs invading Stamm City numbered only 50,000, Soren decided: he would never let these unscrupulous invaders go.
Although he only had 30,000 cavalry under his command, he had conscripted 20,000 infantrymen on the way, and after joining forces with the Stamm City garrison, the infantry strength barely reached 30,000.
In addition, four legion detachments were rushing towards Stamm City at full speed.
Soren knew that as long as they could hold this orc army tightly, until the main force of the First Legion arrived,
they would hopefully be able to deal a fatal blow to this fierce and cunning orc army.
The wolf cavalrymen quickly adjusted their strategy, relying on their excellent mobility to skillfully bypass the main battlefield and speed towards the flanks of the Royal Guard Knights.
Their intention was obvious - to attempt to flank the enemy and launch a surprise attack. This tactic was particularly effective against human knight orders, forcing them to turn before they could gather momentum for a charge, thereby weakening the charge's sharpness and nullifying the cavalry's most powerful impact.
At the moment when Shantu and Soren brushed past each other, the distance between them was less than twenty meters.
Soren gripped the Endless Blade tightly, raised it over his head, and his aura was like a rainbow. With a command, "Attack!"
To Shantu's astonishment, the cavalrymen who had passed them suddenly raised the cavalry crossbows in their hands in unison.
Shoo, shoo...
Crossbow bolts flew continuously, and because the distance was too close, many wolf cavalrymen did not have time to raise their shields to defend and were shot down.
Not only the wolf cavalrymen, but even the dire wolves fell in large numbers.
Only wolf cavalrymen whose strength had reached the fifth rank could ignore the invasion of these flying arrows. However, even they became like hedgehogs covered in wounds in this rain of arrows, and fine wounds oozed blood, making their image exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
This wave of fierce offensive caused Shantu's wolf cavalry to lose a full third of their strength, and at the same time completely shattered their flanking surprise attack plan.
At this moment, Soren raised the Endless Blade high and shouted in a voice like a bell: "Royal Guard Knights! The moment to charge has arrived!" Before he finished speaking, he issued another earth-shattering order: "Knight Skill: Joint Assault!"
Andre seized the brief chaos of the wolf cavalry, decisively leading the knight order to turn their horses' heads, preparing to launch a fatal attack.
"Knight Skill: Charge!" Anka's voice resounded across the battlefield, cheering on the charging knights. The Royal Guard Knights, who had just changed direction, charged fiercely towards the wolf cavalry like arrows shot from a bow.
At this critical moment of life and death, Hilten also unhesitatingly unleashed his knight skill: "Knight Skill:
Guard!"
In an instant, a faint film of magic lightly covered each knight like gauze, building an indestructible defense for them.
Shantu and Pufa clashed fiercely on the battlefield, swords collided, and sparks flew.
Shantu was incomparably brave, continuously hacking down three Royal Guard Knights, and his power shook all directions. However, Pufa took the opportunity to sneak attack, and suddenly thrust a spear at Shantu, knocking him to the ground.
Shantu was agile, and ignoring the bloody hole torn in his shoulder, he leaped up and landed steadily behind another wolf cavalryman.
He swiftly kicked the wolf cavalryman to the ground with one foot, then jumped onto his dire wolf and quickly fled the chaotic battlefield.
On the battlefield, Shantu was brave and fearless, waving the weapon in his hand, like the god of war descending.
He led the wolf cavalry to charge into battle, and although he was in a dangerous situation, he always maintained his composure and wisdom.
When he realized Pufa's threat, he was not afraid, but instead used the chaos on the battlefield to cleverly escape Pufa's pursuit.
After escaping the battlefield, Shantu knew that only by fighting head-on could he truly understand the strength of this knight order.
"The combat power of this knight order is too strong!"
Even if he led the same scale of wolf cavalry, he would definitely not be their opponent.
This battle made him deeply realize that the knight order in front of him was definitely the elite knight order of the human empire,
not comparable to the Northwest Knight Order.
Shantu was anxious, he had to report this important news to the chieftain as soon as possible.
The Gale Tribe was facing an unprecedented crisis, and if they could not respond in time, they might not be able to escape back to the northern wilderness.
He rode his dire wolf, galloping all the way, his heart full of urgency and mission.
At this critical moment, Shantu knew that his responsibility was great. He was not only responsible for the survival of the Gale Tribe.
Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, Shantu resolutely ran towards the direction where the chieftain was.
Because he knew that only by conveying this news to the chieftain as soon as possible could he win a chance of survival for the Gale Tribe.
